June 18, 2015. From urban to remote Olympic Peninsula

CAMPGROUND: Fort Flagler State Park. Full hook-ups. Nice bathrooms.  Right on Admiralty Bay. 4 stars. Would have been 5 stars, but spendy at $46//night
LOCATION:  On tip of peninsula, across from Port Townsend, Washington
WEATHER: Cool. Sunny. Highs in 60s. Windy 

We drove about 60 miles around bays, following the perimeters of islands and peninsulas.  Our destination was Fort Flagler State Park, which a camp host in OR had recommended.  It is very remote.  It is surrounded by water on 3 sides.  Very popular.  We got the last site  for Friday night when I reserved online.

We drove through picturesque fishing villages on our way.  

We have been all around the Olympic Peninsula....

1= Kakaloch, the ocean part of the Olympic National Park
2= Heart of the Hills, the mountain part of the Olympic National Park
3= Bainbridge a Island, across Puget Sound from Seattle
4= Fort Flagler State Park, on part of the islands in northwest

After setting up, we took a hike on the beach, then another one inland, visiting the remains of the fort here from the early 1900s.

It started sprinkling when we returned from our hike, so we stayed inside for the evening.  We have a little TV.  

DINNER:  Thawed hamburger patties.  Warmed up fava beans, and added sautéed onions.
